WHAT IS COACHING?

Coaching is a useful tool in dealing with increasing challenges in life. It is a chosen partnership, where the coach will provide the coachee with objective feedback and observations in order to reach set goals.

As a coach, I am here to provide you with the right tools to identify your difficulties, remove your blockers and ensure that an appropriate action plan is formulated. By reframing your perspective and challenging your blind spots, I will help you focus, gain more awareness and clarity where you felt lost, overwhelmed and confused.

A coach is not a therapist. As a coach, I will help you understand your past but the focus remains on your future and the objectives you want to attain. I will answer your questions, but unlike a consultant, I will give you my observations and opinion but not impose a solution for you to implement. I will not tell you how to do things, but will help you enhance your own thinking and decision-making skills while encouraging interpersonal effectiveness through increased self-confidence.

COACHING IS NOT…

TRAINING – teaching people to do what they don’t know how to do.

MENTORING – transferring best practices and knowledge by offering, as a model, people who are really good at doing something.

CONSULTING – providing expert advice or assistance to the client (usually corporations) using, most of the time, a prescriptive approach.

COUNSELING – providing direction, advice, opinion or instruction in order to influence a course of action.

WHY SHOULD I HIRE A COACH?

You have a wish and you want to make it real.
You want to progress in life.
You want things to be easier for you.
You need a better work/life balance.
You need more clarity and decisiveness.
You are facing new challenging situations.
You feel you have lost control.
You need to improve your performance (higher efficiency, better organization, more focus, etc…)

WHAT IF I AM NOT SURE I NEED A COACH?

Well, if all is well in your life; smile and enjoy it. You may not need a coach after all. My experience in life has shown me that when I don’t go higher, I go either further, deeper or broader, but never nowhere. Maybe it is a good opportunity then to choose where you want to go. What is the next step for you?

HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM READY?

You are ready and committed to make changes in your life.
You recognize the value of team work.
You decided that you are worth it.
Change in your life is absolutely necessary.
You have taken the test.
You have booked a free starter session with me.

HOW LONG DOES IT USUALLY TAKE?

As I create my coaching plan based on your needs, it depends on you. The length is influenced by the type of goals, the frequency of the meetings and your personal way of working. My clients get the best results investing one hour a week over 3 to 6 months depending on the situation. You can stop at any time – you decide.

WHAT IS MY PROMISE TO YOU?

I believe 100% in what I do. If you are committed to make the best of it, I promise that you will improve to a degree you never expected. I will provide you with all my best tools to help you gain more clarity, a deeper knowledge of yourself, higher emotional intelligence and stronger skills and competencies to move on in your life. If after 3 months you have not progressed at all, I will continue to coach you for free until you do.

WHAT IS MY PHILOSOPHY ON COACHING?

I believe that we are all exceptional in essence. Even though I think life is simple, it is not easy. We experience fear, pain and suffering. So, we build walls around ourselves and, over the years, we hide our greater self and soul and we grow apart from whom we really are. We hide behind “conformity” and adopt values that justify our actions. The moment in the journey I love the most is when my clients rediscover their beauty and true power. Life is a fantastic odyssey where we all come out rich. During your peregrination, I will introduce you to your best friend. YOU, the only person who will always be with you…forever. This is my contribution to a more healthy, confident, happy, fulfilled, eager, efficient wonderful YOU. This is what I do best! It is through my work that I can share the most.
